Gregory Soto is a relief pitcher for the Pittsburgh Pirates. In 2026 he struck out 79 batters over 67.0 innings across 69 appearances, going 6-5. His ERA of 3.63 was 13.3% lower than the league average of 4.18 — 4th of 15 on his team, and 184th of 539 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 3.33 FIP suggests the ERA was no fluke. He missed bats on 27.3% of swings (11.8% of every pitch he threw), walked 10.2% of the batters he faced and struck out 27.7%. His 1.1 dbWAR is built from that FIP rather than runs allowed, so it credits him for what he controls and not for the defence behind him.
